Clermont Coaching Jobs Draw Interest

June 12, 1985|By Creig Ewing

CLERMONT — Several people have shown interest in the coaching vacancies at Clermont High School, but principal David Coggshall said that he cannot begin formal interviews to fill the positions until later this month.

Vern Eppinette and Steve Brown announced earlier this month that they had accepted jobs at the new Gateway High School in Kissimmee, but they have not officially resigned their positions at Clermont.

Eppinette was the athletic director, basketball and track coach and also taught social studies. Brown was the head football and baseball coach and taught physical education. Coggshall said that he talked to 6-8 people last week who were interested in the positions at Clermont, but he will not begin serious interviews until June 24.

Coggshall said that several teachers are on still layoff lists because the school board had debated dropping seventh period, and it would have necessitated cutting back on the teaching staff. Those people will be removed from the lists June 24, and no one can be hired until then.
